Daily..

Kai, I am jealous. You are driving what I would like to have to my daily. Hopefully in a few years I will ditch the Z and pick up an STi.

For me, the 3-series Xi's are just not my thing. They aren't bad cars, just not what I want (but probably what I need).

I'm mr. impractical. Two finicky high performance machines that require lots of maitinence and can't go in the snow. Ok, well I'll probably end up driving the FD in the snow, it will work around town anyways. Funny though, I do in fact put more miles on the bike than the car. (sooo much cheaper on gas. And yes I ride in the rain.)

"There's too many self-indulgent WIENERS in this thread with too much bloody money!" Quoted from my favorite movie slightly modified. But I kid, I just wanted to use that quote

Anyway, I'm an illegal alien in this section as I do not own an FD as of yet. I have an 87 FC that will be my summer driver shortly.


As of now I have a 1999 Cavalier Base, 2.2L Auto for my commuter car. No pics though.

That basically defeats the purpose of giving my wife a safe winter vehicle.

Im a picture *****, just thought id post some more when the first huge dump of snow came to town. This was when my lsd worked. On one street where a bunch of trucks were turning around, I showed em up and gave her through some really really deep snow. I also had fd springs on the rear to raise it up a bit.



^Here I pushed my luck and got stuck, but the tires tracks to the right is where I got through the first time.

Yeah I guess I am an self indulgent weiner, who owned 4 Fc's beforehand. So yeah i'm super self indulgent.

You really should have to own at least 2 running SA/FB/FC's before you get an FD. Should be a qualification.
